Tumbler Tomato Harvest

The Tumbler tomatoes have been a very successful experiment this year. I have never grown this type of cherry tomato before. Well, this will be a tomato that I will add to my garden from now on. It’s easy to grow and takes very little space since it’s in a hanging basket. Visually, it’s stunning with dozens of cute little round tomatoes hanging off the branches. The fruit looks very uniform and smooth just like the ones you buy at the store. My MIL loves harvesting from the tomato basket every morning.

Hello

After years of container gardening on my apartment’s balcony, I finally have a house with a yard which needed a garden. My parents are avid gardeners, especially my dad, and have passed along the gardening genes as well as many wonderful plants to me. There’s something about a garden with brings a pleasant surprise every day to your life and helps you slow down that hectic and frantic lifestyle that so many of us go through on a daily basis. This will be my version of a combination of a gardening and life journal.
